The global adhesion promoter market size was valued at USD 3.83 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% from 2023 to 2030.Rising demand for better adhesion in the composites & plastics sector is projected to boost the market demand over the forecast period. Technological innovations have introduced new avenues for high performance waterborne formulations & non-chlorinated promoters that provide higher versatility in curing, with improvised performance in applications such as printing inks, adhesives, plastics & composites, automotive and electronics.
Additionally, automakers are increasingly attempting to improve road safety and fuel economy by creating ‘green tires’ using adhesion promoters such as silanes in tread compounds. These silica-reinforced compounds are expected to replace petroleum-based carbon black and contribute sustainably to the environment.
The European Commission has also mandated ‘tire labels’ since November 2012, to inform consumers regarding the energy efficiency of tires in regard to lower fuel consumption, noise and CO2 emissions, and the overall safety when braking on wet roads. Major companies such as Evonik are actively working on refining the silane-silica system to improve adhesion promotion, which is crucial to their market growth.
The adhesion promoter market is anticipated to witness significant growth worldwide, driven by the increasing demand from various industrial sectors, notably the automotive and transportation industries. The robust outlook of the automotive and transportation sectors, particularly in developing regions like Asia Pacific, is expected to be a key factor favoring market growth throughout the forecast period.
Based on product, the market has been segmented into silane, chlorinated polyolefins, maleic anhydride, and titanate & zirconate. The silane segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 35.2% in 2022, owing to high demand for paints & coatings, and rubber applications.Traditionally, silane was used in composite materials as a coating on filler particles, in order to bind them to a resin matrix. It is also widely used as a coupling agent, to adhere fibers to certain polymers, thus stabilizing the composite materials. High demand for these products in applications requiring moisture, temperature and chemical resistance, is expected to foster segment growth.
The maleic anhydride segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. The product is used to increase adhesion to polar surfaces while improving water resistance and alkali solubility at the same time.
The plastics & composites segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 34.0% in 2022 and is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. These materials are mainly used to manufacture precision-engineered products, owing to advantageous product properties that include chemical resistance, light weight, and flexibility.
Plastic components needed to be painted, coated and joined with adhesive to prevent bond failure at the interface. Segment growth is likely to be driven by growing consumption of plastics in the automotive industry, to foster fuel savings by lowering overall car weight.
Paints and coatings are also likely to present lucrative opportunities for these promoters in construction & building materials. High product penetration is mainly on account of growing awareness regarding enhanced binding capabilities after application of the product. Increasing demand for architectural, automotive and industrial coatings shall also be a primary driving force in other applications over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 43.5% in 2022 is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period. Growing popularity of these promoters in countries such as China, India, Japan and South Korea where construction activities are on the rise, is likely to foster regional growth.
Economic growth in the region has necessitated requirement of both institutional as well as commercial infrastructure spaces. Additionally, rising disposable income coupled with high passenger car sales has also fostered product demand in the automotive sector.
North America is expected to grow at 5.0% CAGR over the forecast period, owing to increasing construction spending and a revitalized automotive sector. Rapid infrastructural development in Mexico is also likely to drive growth in the region.
The market is fragmented in nature due to the presence of numerous small scale manufacturers and raw material suppliers.
In July 2023, Eastman Chemical Company introduced a new generation of adhesion promoters to help users of paint and coatings comply with legislative requirements. The Advantis adhesion promoters minimize or eliminate potentially hazardous components, enabling formulators and end users to produce consistent outcomes while enhancing product sustainability and adhering to regulations.
In April 2022, PPG Industries, Inc. announced the introduction of its pigmented adhesion promoter, PPG ONECHOICE ADPRO MAX, for the U.S. and Canadian markets. By offering superior topcoat adherence to uncoated bumpers, fascias, and other vehicle plastics, the single-component undercoat, with its time-saving one-coat application, eliminates the requirement to apply a sealer.
In June 2022, TOYO INK SC HOLDINGS CO., LTD updated its lineup of laminating adhesives by adding food-safe products that are free of organic tin compounds and epoxy silanes. The updated lineup comprises solvent-based TOMOFLEX and solvent-free ECOAD series laminating adhesives that are appropriate for a variety of multilayered flexible packaging uses, such as liquid pouch, dry food, and high-performance retort.
In August 2021, PPG Industries, Inc. announced its collaboration with Rex Airlines by providing a range of aerospace paints for six Boeing aircraft, aiming to enhance the airline's domestic operations. Rex Airlines opted for PPG EAP 9, a chromium-free adhesion promoter, to be used on the fuselage, wings, and engine cowlings of these aircraft.
